Volunteers must possess skill in identifying live and dead marine birds and mammals, often decomposed or scavenged. Volunteers receive training on how to survey a segment of beach, identify marine birds and mammals, and document observations. Beach segments are approximately 5 km in length and surveys take an average of 4 hours to complete. Volunteers must be willing and able to walk long stretches of sandy, uneven terrain, often remote from human services. This requires a reliable commitment, but is extremely rewarding for those involved.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-367-2\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-367-2-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-367-2-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_media_video panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"2\" ><div style=\"width:100%;\" class=\"wp-video\"><video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-367-1\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/youtube\" src=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1rJYPSuEJd4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/1rJYPSuEJd4\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/1rJYPSuEJd4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-367-2-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-367-2-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-367\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/beachcombers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2017\/10\/DSCF4155-1.jpg\" width=\"1201\" height=\"901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/beachcombers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2017\/10\/DSCF4155-1.jpg 1201w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/beachcombers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2017\/10\/DSCF4155-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/beachcombers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2017\/10\/DSCF4155-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/beachcombers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35\/2017\/10\/DSCF4155-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1201px) 100vw, 1201px\" alt=\"\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-367-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-367-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-367-3-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"4\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h2>Attend a training lecture to learn about:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Purpose of program and its importance<\/li>\n<li>Short-term and long-term program goals<\/li>\n<li>Review of similar programs<\/li>\n<li>Role of volunteers<\/li>\n<li>Sampling design and methods<\/li>\n<li>Data form descriptions<\/li>\n<li>Proper completion of data forms<\/li>\n<li>Toe clipping methods<\/li>\n<li>Natural history of local marine birds<\/li>\n<li>Description of <a href=\"https:\/\/mlml.sjsu.edu\/beachcombers\/beach-details\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">designated beaches<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Seabird Identification\n<ul>\n<li>Slides of major orders and families<\/li>\n<li>Study skins of local species at MLML<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Marine mammal and sea turtle identification\n<ul>\n<li>Slides of local marine mammals<\/li>\n<li>Skulls and dentition of marine mammals<\/li>\n<li>Study skins of local pinnipeds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Beach assignments and pairings<\/li>\n<li>Distribution of sampling equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">Last Updated: 26th October, 2017<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-367-3-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-367-3-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<div>\n<h2>Supplies Provided to Participants<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Clipboard<\/li>\n<li>Tape Measure<\/li>\n<li>Clippers<\/li>\n<li>Waterproof Sharpie pen<\/li>\n<li>Beached Marine Bird and Mammal Guide<\/li>\n<li>Hemp rope to mark pinnipeds<\/li>\n<li>Pencils<\/li>\n<li>Bird identification guide (<em>National Geographic<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>Plastic trash bags (<em>for fresh carcasses<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>Clean gloves<\/li>\n<li>Rubber gloves<\/li>\n<li>Collection Permit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-meta\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prospective Volunteers \u00a0Why should I become a Beach COMBERS Volunteer?
